Nice!!
We (a small work contingent) was supposed to hit there for a couple of days when we were in the region working, but alas time didn’t allow it (mostly due to wasting time sight seeing an extra hour here and there on days we did work)

We went there because it was cheap and close (4 hours flight from Frankfurt) and had what we wanted: sun, sea and sand. That was all my girlfriend and I wanted from a romantic getaway

Otherwise, it is a weird place, totally artificial, built on islands and jetties heaped up in the Red Sea, totally isolated from the rest of the world and all modern, starting from around 1990.
